install windows first, and then linux. if linux is already installed, re-install lilo and add the windowz entry to your lilo.conf On Thu, 17 Jan 2002, rodrigo wrote: > Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2002 15:08:15 -0300 > From: rodrigo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [expert] windows after Linux ... > > Hi experts .. >When I trying to install windowsXP in one > computer with linux... how I can re-write the > master boot record...

You'll have problems though as NT4 insists on putting its boot loader on the primary partition, which must be either FAT16 or NTFS. If the spare partition is the first one, then you are fine. > If I install windows will it take priority over my grub boot loader?

What you'll have to do is make a boot disk - just use KLILO (I don't know anything about GRUB) and save the boot loader to the disk. Then when you boot into Linux again after installing NT you can use KLILO to put the boot loader onto the MBR again. A word of warning - NT4 is dumb when it comes to large drives, particular if you have to use a BIOS patch to access it. Just don't cry too much if NT4 nukes your Linux partitions. -- Damien Mc Kenna, Paraprofessional The Computer Institute, 100 Waldon Blvd., Sanford, FL 32773 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 407-328-4722 x3397

Since the windows partition is already seen by grub, it should work just fine after you install NT4. Note that Win95/98 will NOT work fine - it will trash grub or lilo. -- Mage Grimau So now you should spend the morning lying to your father quite amazed about the Strange Unwashed and Happily Slightly Dazed [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It should not format any partitions other than the ones you tell it to format. While we're on formatting for NT, use FAT, not NTFS, if you want to access the NT partition directly from Linux. You will want to mount for Linux using the VFAT file system. I would recommend a 2 GB partition for NT 4. It's the larges NT 4 will support, as NT 4 does not support FAT32. > If I install windows will it take priority over my grub > boot loader? Yes, until you fix that. See below. > And if so how can I make it so that I can still choose > to either boot to linux or windows in my grub? I have not used grub, so I will guess that it will let you boot to NT. Make sure you have a Linux boot disk so you can boot to your Linux partition after you install NT. You will need to edit the grub configuration, and do whatever you need to do there. Alternatively, there is a way to sneak Linux into the NT boot loader. I think there is a HOW-TOs on that. -- -- C^2 No windows were crashed in the making of this email.
